The Argentine wholesale dollar closed at 1,547.50 pesos while financial dollar rates set new nominal records, with the CCL reaching 1,689.02. The Brazilian real has depreciated 9.15% against the US dollar, reviving warnings about the competitiveness of the Argentine peso.
A sharply weaker real makes Brazilian exports cheaper and more competitive, which can pressure Argentine trade margins and influence regional feed and grain export pricing. The effect on commodity prices is indirect and mainly through currency competitiveness.
After 92 past neutral macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -0.7% to +1.4%), and +0.4% over 20.
